[Outro]
Just The First Half Chorus Chords (G,D,A(Riff)
This was my first tab submitted (be ohnest)
Notes:
-This song is preferably
finger-picked using you
thumb to pick the bass notes
-The pattern for picking is
bass then higher strings
-there's a hammer-on over the
Dsus2 on the B-string (B|-0h3-|)
-If you are wondering what Bbdim
means it's B flat diminished
-There is a bass line walk down
after G there is a G/F# which is _____G/F#____
simply for prescion not too much | E A D G B E |
of a noticeable thing but my technique | 2 x 0 0 3 3 |
for it is when making a G to walk | or |
up to an G/F# simply use your | 2 2 0 0 3 3 |
middle finger to mute the A-string |-------------|
and your index to hit the F# or if
you wanted you could simply move your
middle finger where your index was and
put your index on the F#

The only problem with it is it's missing a G/F# after the verse G chords. It goes Dsus2, G, G/F#, Em7, etc
Obviously not a big deal as it's not a wrong chord, just a missing bassline. But still, that's my only suggestion :)

It's all good really - you would sound just fine playing it with these chords. Goombas noted the G/F# thing. He's right, but no big. I noticed that the A is actually an A7 most of the time (being the 5 chord of D) but again, no big. I think you might have missed E7 chord tab at the beginning. No big deal.
I use these with my guitar students and it's close enough that I don't have to do much work on it to make it right. Thanks for your effort.
